Glitter of Light

Bella's POV:

I rolled over onto my back, stretching and letting out a long yawn. The light was trying to seep into the room, but was still heavily blocked by the curtains. I looked over to the alarm clock and groaned as I saw it was only seven in the morning. I pulled the covers up tighter and moved closer to Edward, resting my head on his chest. I let out a breath of contentment; this was how I wanted to wake up every morning.

I propped my chin up and looked at this face, memorizing every feature. My fingers trailed down his jaw line, his mouth slightly open. His perfect lips were full and I wanted to have my lips touching his. I bit down on my lower lip and moved even closer, so that I was hovering just above him.

I lowered my mouth to meet with his, my tongue licking his dry lips, leaving them slightly wet. No response. God, he must be a deep sleeper. I decided to try again, something a little different.

I moved to his ear and began to nibble on it. This time, his hands suddenly grasped me around my waist and pulled me closer. I let out a little squeal as Edward rolled me over so that he was now hovering on top.

"Good morning to you, too," he said, his voice husky from the deep sleep.

"Morning," I smiled and wanted to say more, but his lips crushed into mine, moving together in perfect harmony.

Then his mouth moved from my lips and began to leave a trail of kisses around my neck as he reached up and slipped the thin straps off my shoulder. I could tell that he wanted to leave no surface un-kissed. My stomach began to knot up at the reaction to his light touch; I began to get hot between my legs, quickly becoming a willing participant to this morning wake-up call.

One hand went to his bare back, lightly grazing the skin with my finger tips; the other went to his hair, grabbing and twisting. I could hear a small growl escape his throat as my fingers dug a little more into his back.

"You are creating a problem, Bella," He whispered into my ear, "You better not be starting something we can't finish."

"Who said anything about not finishing?" I purred and brought his head down so that our lips were brushing up against each other.

A hand began to roam under my tank top and cup my breast, massaging it gently. I arched my back in reflex to the pleasure that I was beginning to feel. Edward raised my arms over my head and slowly took my shirt off.

"God, you are so beautiful," he whispered as he took in my body, "I still wonder how I got so lucky as to meet you."

He lowered his head to my chest; his tongue began to play with one of my erect nipples. The sucking and tugging was driving the inside of me to get even hotter. I could feel him pressed against my thigh and I wanted nothing more than to have him inside of me. My hands went to the waistband of his boxers and I began to tug at them. He must have gotten the message because he removed them in one fluid motion.

His hand moved down to my boy shorts and his fingers slowly began to sneak their way into my waiting lips, which were getting wetter by the second. He began to play with my clit, making my hips begin to rise and rock. For some reason, I felt the urge to move his head farther down and away from my breast. If he could give me such pleasure sucking on my nipple, I began to wonder what kind of pleasure he could give me with his tongue in my most precious of areas.

I wrapped my hands deeper into his hair as his tongue trailed farther down my stomach. I could tell that we were about to enter a new sexual territory. My head fell back into the pillow as he breathed into my lips and then inhaled my scent in. His tongue slowly felt its way around, tasting, licking and flicking my clit.

My hips began to rise and fall, rubbing into him, the urge for more growing powerful. I felt a finger slide gently in and then another being added. I let out a small gasp as I allowed my body to take in the full pleasure of what Edward was doing.

I began to feel my stomach knot even more, the sense that something was about to come, but I was holding on to it, afraid that if it did come, all of this would be over. I tightened my grip even deeper into his hair; my hips pressed farther up to meet him. The thrusting of his fingers began going more quickly. I wrapped my legs around his neck, putting him a death grip, not wanting him to leave from this position. If we did nothing else for the rest of our time together, this made it all worthwhile.

That knot inside felt like it was about to explode at any given moment and I hung on for dear life. Finally, after a few more pushes and thrusts, I threw the pillow over my head to cover the scream that I knew was about to escape my lips. I pushed my hips into him, as I could feel a warm liquid pulse out of me. I kept my legs wrapped around him as I felt his fingers slide up and down my lips, as if to dry them off.

I lifted the pillow off my head. "WOW. That was amazing," I breathed out in quick little breaths.

Edward lifted his head and looked at me. The smile on his face reminded me of a little boy who had just been rewarded with the best present from Santa Claus.

"I agree," he slinked his way back up to me, "You tasted so good. I almost did not want to stop."

"You and me both," I pushed him on to his back and then climbed on top of him, "And who said we needed to stop?" I lowered my torso closer to him, my breasts dangling over his mouth. Just close enough to where his tongue could reach out and tickle the nipple, but far enough away that they would be a tease.

He put his hands onto my waist and shifted his lower half, as if trying to find the point of entry.

I could feel his engorged shaft pushing into my thigh and sat up wiggling my hips against it. Then very slowly I lowered myself onto him. A small moan escaped his lips as I began to rub against him. I could feel his grip on my waist getting tighter as he pushed himself farther into me. One of his hands ran the length of my chest, stopping at one of my breasts.

My hips kept grinding into him; once again that knot in my stomach starting to flare up. I could tell that we were both about to come to an end. I lowered my head and began to kiss him; passionately at first, and then it started to become deeper, more lustful, desire spilling from them. His hand went and knotted up in my long curls; his other hand pushed my bottom farther onto him. I could feel his hips lifting higher and deeper, wanting more. The rubbing of my clean vagina up against his skin helped induce the climax even more.

I felt him push one last time as a moan escaped his lips, but my chest covered it up. I fell on top of him, both of us breathing heavily. He reached around and pulled the blanket up over the two of us. Now that the motions had stopped, I could feel the coolness of the air in the room.

"I don't want this to ever end," I whispered, "I want it to be like this forever."

"It will be, I promise. I am not going anywhere."

I reached over and pushed the blankets off of me and then grabbed my shirt before standing up and walking over to the bathroom to retrieve my robe.

"Where you going?" Edward asked, his eyes never leaving my body.

"Don't you smell it?" I asked him, pulling my hair up into a ponytail and walking back over to him.

"Smell what?"

"The coffee," I said and then gave him a small kiss on the lips.

His hand began to undo the tie on my robe and find their way back to my chest, his hands stayed in one spot on my breasts. I pulled his face away from mine and looked at him, all the while his hand still feeling me up. He had the look of concern on his face.

"Edward, what?"

Edward let go and moved the robe off of my shoulder, lifting my shirt; instead of massaging, it was more like he was palapating me.

"How long have you this?" Concern laced his voice.

I looked down to where he was pointing; the red bug bite that I had since graduation.

I shrugged my shoulders. "A week or two. It's just a bug bite."

Edward lowered my shirt and tied my robe back up. "Why don't you go get us some coffee? I'm going to take a shower."

Edward scooted out of bed and then walked over to the bathroom. I let my eyes follow his wonderful backside, then shrugged my shoulders and walked toward the kitchen. The rich smell of Columbian beans spread through the entire suite.

"Well, someone is up awfully early this morning," I said, walking over to the coffeepot, "I thought for sure you would still be asleep, especially since I see Emmett's not on the couch."

"I couldn't sleep. I've got a lot on my mind," Rose picked up her coffee cup.

I had to squint my eyes as a blinding light pierced right through me. My jaw dropped as I reached over and took Rose's hand in mine. I looked up to Rose and then back down to her finger and back up again.

"Alice Brandon, get your ass out here right now!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. I knew what was on Rose's finger and why she was up; I also knew what she would probably do if damage control did not happen fast.

"What the hell, Bella?" Alice exclaimed, trying to take the sleeping mask off of her head.

I just lifted Rose's hand and let the sunlight hit the rock, which in turned hit Alice square in the face. She put her hand up to block the blinding light.

Alice didn't walk over to where we were sitting, but rather flew, immediately taking hold of Rose's hand and then looking between the two of us.

"What the hell is this?" Alice asked, looking at her best friend.

"It's not what it looks like," Rose said, snatching her hand back.

"Then what is it? Because from where I am standing, it looks like a 3.5 carat princess cut diamond. Much like the one you tried on in Jamaica."

"Emmettaskedmetomarryhim?" Rose said so fast that Alice and I just let our stunned expressions take over until the words filtered to our brains.

"He what?!" I asked, still flabbergasted.

Rose's POV:

I finally threw the covers off of me when I thought it was a decent hour to get out of bed. I just could not sleep anymore. Not that I had actually slept to begin with. My mind just kept wondering back to last night.

I climbed out of bed and went to the bathroom to get my new robe that Alice had insisted the three of us buy. Mine was bright red terrycloth with Mickey Mouse embroidered on the right side the chest. On the back it read: Doesn't Mickey Wish.

When Alice showed us the robes in the store, I had just rolled my eyes, not really thinking I would ever wear the thing. But this morning it was a welcome comfort to slip it on. I took one last long glance at Emmett, who was fast asleep on his belly. One arm was hanging off the bed while his feet were tangled up in the blankets. A small smile crossed my lips. He was cute when he was sleeping, so peaceful.

I shut the door quietly and proceeded down the hallway to the living room. Macy was also still fast asleep; I bent over and brushed her hair out of her eyes and gave her a butterfly kiss. She was my world now, just as I was hers. Nothing would ever change that.

I knew that people would come and go; they always had in my life. There had never been a single constant body to protect me, to love me. All I had were my friends and now this angel, who was a dream come true.

I gave a heavy sigh as I walked to the kitchen. I went ahead and made a pot of coffee and threw open the drapes, letting in the early morning sun. My eyes widened with wonder on how so many different animals could live together so peacefully. The zebra were running across the Savannah setting with a lion letting out a huge yawn a short distance away. Did they not know they were enemies? That one day the lion could snap?

I looked down at my hand as the light caught the facets, giving off a glow around the entire room. I walked over and grabbed a cup, then filled it with coffee. Chances were the aroma would filter down to the rest of the rooms and Alice or Bella would be joining me soon. I really needed them now; I had questions that needed answers. More importantly, I just needed a shoulder to cry on.

I did not know the first thing about marriage, family, or any of those things that came in that package. I had just found out less than a week ago that I would be responsible for a ten year old, when I am hardly able to take care of myself! And had you asked me yesterday who I thought would be the first to get married, I would have screamed out 'Bella'. She was the family one in the bunch. I look at Bella and Edward and can see how perfect they are together; same with Alice and Jasper. They are the ones who should be debating over the question of marriage, not me.

I was pulled from my thoughts as I heard the sound of feet on the soft deep gold carpet that lined the floor of the living room. I went over and grabbed another cup of coffee, knowing that whoever it was must have smelled it. There was no other reason for them to be up so early.

"Well, someone is up awfully early this morning," Bella's voice rang throughout the kitchen as she walked over to the pot of coffee. "I thought for sure you would still be asleep, especially since I see Emmett's not on the couch."

"I couldn't sleep. I've got a lot on my mind," I picked up my cup and sipped some of the warm liquid.

I knew that from the angle I was sitting the light would catch my ring. Bella squinted her eyes together when the reflection trickled right into her line of vision. Her mouth dropped as she reached over and took my hand into hers. She looked up at me and then back down to my finger and back up again.

"Alice Brandon, get your ass out here right now!" Bella screamed at the top of her lungs. I was actually surprised that the entire hotel had not come running.

I looked over to where Macy was curled up on the sofa; she shifted at the sound, but then was still again.

"What the hell, Bella?" Alice exclaimed, trying to take the sleeping mask off of her head.

Bella pulled my hand over the counter and the light bounced off the stone and flashed right into Alice's eyes. Alice didn't walk over to where we were sitting, she flew; immediately grabbing my hand and then looking between the two of us.

"What the hell is this?" Alice asked, looking at me. Her eyes were opened wide; her mouth was nearly hitting the counter.

"It's not what it looks like," I said, snatching my hand back.

"Then what is it? Because from where I am standing, it looks like a 3.5 carat princess cut diamond. Much like the one you tried on in Jamaica."

I bit down on my lower lip - a bad habit that I gotten from Bella - with my eyes cast down, then spit out the words that I knew would turn my world, along with everyone else's, upside down. The sentence that I knew would change my life forever.

"Emmettaskedmetomarryhim?" I let out a sigh of relief; that hadn't been so bad.

"He what?!" Bella asked, still looking stunned. I wasn't sure if she had really heard me.

"When? Where? How?" Alice's questions were coming at me a hundred miles a minute and it was more than I could take.

I laid my forehead down on the cool countertop and the tears that I had been holding back all night poured freely. I could feel the arms of my friends on my shoulders, one of them even rubbing circles on my back; both telling me soothing words.

"I …don't …know…" I could not even finish the sentence; I was at a total loss.

"Well, I'll tell you what we are going to do," Alice's voice was quiet, yet I could hear the authority in it.

I looked up to her and then over to Bella, who wiped away a tear that was flowing down my cheek.

"You are going to take a shower, get dressed and then we are going down to the pool to have a little R&R. While we are there, you will give us the 411 on everything. Then we will come back, get dressed and head over to Downtown Disney and go shopping. It will be a totally male free day. Let us help you, Rose." Alice reached over and gave me tight hug, "I promise after today, you will have the answers to everything."

"Well, what do we tell the guys?" Bella asked, I nodded my head in agreement, "And Macy?"

Alice just rolled her eyes. "Jasper mentioned last night about going to one of the water parks. Let Macy go with the guys and then we tell them to meet up with us later on tonight. By then, you will have your head on straight. I'm guessing you already told Emmett yes?"

I lowered my head back on to the counter and let out a loud groan.

"What did you tell him?" Bella asked, shocked, "You're wearing the ring?"

"I told him that I needed to think about it," I whispered, "Then he slid the ring on my finger and said that it was mine, no matter what I decide."

"Ohhh," was the only thing I heard coming from both of my friends.

"Exactly!"

Then Alice surprised me by suddenly jumping up and down, clapping her hands together. "Then by tonight you will have a definite answer for him."

"She's not telling him no!" A small voice came out of nowhere.

I looked up and saw Macy standing in front of us, her arms crossed over her chest; she proceeded to walk over to me.

"Please, Rose," she whispered, "You need him. I need him. Please don't run."

Macy's POV:

I thought I was having the best dream in the world. Emmett was down on his knee, holding out a little black box. Rose was standing next to me, her mouth hanging open as I was sure mine was. He had been telling Rose that he loves her, but Rose wasn't hearing it. I knew that she loved him, so why was she not talking now?

Emmett opened the box to reveal the most beautiful ring in the world. I began to jump with excitement. But to hold myself still, I clamped my hands over my mouth.

"Rose, will you marry me?"

"YES!" I exclaimed.

Rose turned to me and glared. I guess I wasn't supposed to say that.

"I…I…" Rose was at a total loss for words. She kept looking between the ring that was in the box and Emmett's face. "I'm not worth it."

"Yes you are, Rose," Emmett stood up and then placed the ring on her finger. "Please wear it. You don't have to decide now. I'm not going anywhere."

"Alice Brandon, get your ass out here right now!" I could hear Bella's voice yell out.

I rolled over and pulled the covers over my head. I knew then that last night had not been a dream. I kept quiet as I listened to Rose, Alice and Bella talk. I listened as Rose cried, and could tell that she was about to run. That was when I could not listen any more.

I threw the covers off and made my way to the kitchen.

"She's not telling him no!" My voice was small, but strong.

I walked over to Rose and placed my hand on her arm. "Please, Rose. You need him. I need him. Please don't run."

I could feel a tear just waiting to spill over, but I bit my lip and fought the urge.

I felt another hand rub my head; I turned around and saw that it was Bella. "She's not going to tell him no. Come on, girls, let's go get ready for our busy day."

I looked at the three of them. "What are we going to do today?"

"You are going to go to Blizzard Beach with the boys," Alice came over to me and gave Rose and I both a hug, "While Bella and I take Rose with us."

I looked at the three of them suspiciously, but nodded my head in agreement. "We are on the same team, right?"

"If that team is to get Rose to say yes," Alice started, "Then yes, we are. Now go get dressed."

I turned and walked back to the living room. I was going to have to do some major work and was hoping that Bella and Alice would follow through. If we could get Rose to tell Emmett yes, then I would have to get them married before we left Disney. Otherwise, I had the feeling that when we got back to New York, Rose would turn and run in the opposite direction.

I smiled at the thought of spending the day with the guys; I knew it would turn out to be a very good day. I quickly changed my clothes and was ready for Blizzard Beach in record time, then started to bang on everyone's doors to get them to hurry up.

Time was wasting; Operation Wedding started right now!
